A total of 3,058 teenagers ages 13-19 died in motor vehicle crashes in 2021. This is 65% fewer than in 1975 and 11% more than in 2020. About 2 of every 3 teenagers killed in crashes in 2021 were males. Since 1975, teenage crash deaths have decreased more among males (69%) than among females (55%)
So your retort to the statistics of thousands of yearly teen deaths to cars is “someday, an ebike may kill someone. What then, huh?”
You know electric car batteries also smoke off in rare cases too, right? That they are often parked in buildings and may also eventually burn a building down?
Concrete parking garages won’t ig ore an entire apartment building. Individual houses, hardly an issue of mass displacement, plus their home insurance would cover rehousing.
I’m not saying no EVs or things with batteries. More not to buy some random noname crap, which will happen a lot more with smaller ticket items like a bike instead of a car.
So still ignoring the current 3000/yr teen car deaths completly for a “ebikes may be the real danger” comment? Okay then.
Your saying a lithium car fire, one of the hardest to put out fires, will not cause any building to burn down, anywhere? Because all parking garages are structurally designed to withstand that style of fire at the base of their building?
